This country has gone to the dogs “A Royal Wedding” “A Diamond Jubilee” “The Summer Olympics” and there is still no “Feel good factor.” Even a World War couldn’t pull this government out of the doldrums; I know there is a world recession, but events like this should be giving the country a “Buzz” I predict more anarchy in the summer months, prepare for gold in the rioting and looting events.

Royalists are a bit like religious people to me. That kind of stuff doesn't factor in my day to day life and it's nothing I care or think about, and I kind of forget other people do. Then when I come across someone who actually believes and cares about this kind of stuff I find a bit weird and disconcerting. Like talking to a mental person.

Germany (and presumably other places) have an optional church tax, couldn't we have an optional royal tax? that way those of us that don't see the point could opt out and would have little grounds to complain.

Even the French can manage better Royal coverage than this. Fucking BBC fistfuckers can, quite royally, do one with their Aneka Rice necromancy and endless yet fruitless search for a meaningful post for Fern Cotton.

I wandered down as its only twenty minutes walk. I saw a shit load of people and fuck all by the way of boats, except an absolutely fluke 5 second view of the barge when I was on the top deck of the bus.

People seemed quite happy which I guess makes it all worthwhile, absolutely huge proportion of tourists/johnny foreigner in the crowds.
